whatever you want to say about PJ's choice to do the ad (I don't care anymore, anyone still crying "they've sold out" after this many years has been living under a rock), the writer of this article sounds like a massive jerk

the clip has that old PJ atmosphere I've been missing

That's because you can barely hear Harrison Ford over the instruments. Hopefully he's more prominently mixed on the album.

Doesn't Harrison Ford have enough money? Why is he doing ads for Verizon?

Sounds pretty good and like an Eddie song.

Don't know why Harrison Ford has to take voiceover jobs from someone else. Share the light, Harrison.

I like the instrumental part, not sure about Ed's vocals on this one. But he pulled off DOTC like a boss, so...

in the live version he seems to be singing "share the light, don't hold us down"

in this one he seems to be singing "share the light, *won't* hold us down"

the latter doesn't really make sense

Clip sounded fine, the commercial was pretty cringy. I don't mean in a "how dare they do a commercial" kind of cringe, just more of a "that commercial was stupid" kind of way.

You’re going to hear a lot about Scooby snacks in the next year. You’re going to hear about what they can do for mystery van dogs, and for their owners. But Scooby snacks aren’t why a mystery can dog serves. It’s not a replacement for the brav-

Given that Verizon was caught throttling data for firefighters fighting wildfires last year, I'd say it's really fucking cringey.

i'm a huge fan of the live river cross. i got to see the first performance in person. i gotta admit, that clip in the commercial doesn't have me too excited for the recorded version.

Yeah, I was unaware until I read the comments on that Stereogum link. Not a good look.

It has more of a Backspacer feel to me, but maybe that’s the “I’m like super accustomed to the cheaply recorded live version” thing happening.
